University Mental Health Day 2017

University Mental Health Day is the national day for student mental health. In 2017 University Mental Health Day took place on the 2nd of March and it was a great opportunity to bring together all of the key players in university mental health.

The Active Mental Health theme aimed to open up conversations about the relationship between mental and physical wellbeing, and event organisers had lots of fantastic ideas to demonstrate this to students and staff.

This year, an estimated 7800 people took part in campaign events, with 81 universities running events on the day. Online, 5603 individuals used the hashtag #UniMentalHealthDay on Twitter, reaching an incredible 17,077,906 users in one day. The hashtag also stormed the UK trending list during the afternoon, hugely increasing public exposure to the campaign.
